HMI networks are needed to expand or contract as required over their lifetime of use. Which of the networking types below will solve multiple DA server scalability issues?
Software for programming or configuration is an integral part of any HMI. Which of the interfaces below can be best described as allowing the creation of new projects?
Which of the terms below best describes the specific set of rules for communication?
A modern DCS needs to be able to respond to growing demands. Which of the terms below is best defined as the measure of a system's ability to increase or decrease in performance and cost in response to changes in application and system processing demands.
A typical HMI has several subsystems attached to it. Which of the subsystems below would be involved in the manipulation process control inputs?

In the protocol specifications of Modbus, there are only four types of registers that can be accessed by the master. Which of the terms below is best described as a analog input memory location?
The limits of a OUT parameter status field has several different classifications. Which of the classifications below can be described as the indication of a parameter under the LRV?
The industrial network topologies you are required to use is defined by the OSI network model. Which of the common topologies below is likely described as a network a single continuous pathway through each node from being connected directly to two other nodes?
In the protocol specifications of Modbus, there are only four types of registers that can be accessed by the master. Which of the terms below is best described as a discreet input memory location?
Which of the terms below is best described as "losses resulting from defects from the manufacture of the cable"?
Subnet masks in IPv4 are used to divide an existing network. A class B network with 2 nodes, one with an IP address of 128.0.0.1 and a mask of 255.255.0.0. Which of the answers below reflects the address the other node must have for the two nodes to communicate?

In networking, the ability to transmit data is vital. Which of the terms below would best be described as a networks ability, within a specific amount of time, to insure the delivery of data or node communication?
A DCS collects a lot of data during the course of operating. Which of the terms below would best describe the database that contains all the data required to create a trend in the process?
Redundant capability is critical for any DCS. Which of the redundancies below would function properly if no faults occur, and will shutdown if one occurs?
Software for programming or configuration is an integral part of any HMI. Which of the interfaces below can be best described as having the ability to design the GUI, including configuring tags and introducing specialized scripting?
